IBS Group Holding Ltd.

Dear moderator, you have deleted IBS Group holding page from Wikipedia. By stating that it’s an advertisement, unfortunately I have to disagree with you, Mostly information posted on the Wikipedia page is neutral and talks about the company, IBS Group is big holding which includes more than 7ooo people worldwide. Please take a look at our peers pages: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wipro ; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infosys . I used their pages as a pattern for writing IBS Group Holding Ltd. Page. Please explain me how do our pages differ, and how is that possible that pages which are mentioned above are allowed on Wikipedia.org, and our page is considered Advertisement. I call for your moderate sense and all the professionalism that you have to solve this problem otherwise I’ll ask you to take same actions against our peer companies. Thank you. Dmitry


My article "makigami" was deleted.

My article "makigami" was deleted. I've written three books on the subject. I don't understand why you consider it advertising. I believe the public would want factual information on the new technique. What are your thoughts?

Thank you very much.

Paul Kerensa

Hi there. I'm considering recreating the article for Paul Kerensa. There are quite a lot of references for this notable British comedian and screenwriter. For instance: http://www.chortle.co.uk/comics/p/581/paul_kerensa, http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1772717/. Any thoughts? Excession (talk) 11:20, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Abuse Filter 58

I'm not quite sure how these things work, but why would adding an entry Banff Springs Hotel to List of castles in Canada trigger it? The user has made no other edits, current or deleted. Log at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AbuseLog&wpSearchUser=68427capriceatyahoo Thanks. BTW the hotel looks like a castle in the Scottish Baronial but not the Conwy Castle sense (but has always been a hotel). Peridon (talk) 14:28, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The username contains "caprice", a common sockpuppet name of JtV. See users such as Caprice Kort (talk · contribs), Caprice from Mars (talk · contribs), etc. Reaper Eternal (talk) 18:17, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, right. I was thinking it was the edit rather than the account that triggered. Thanks. Peridon (talk) 20:45, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
So ... does this mean that any new user with 'caprice' in their name cannot make any edits? —Soap— 00:24, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well, now that we all know about it (including JtV), there's not much point keeping that one in #58, is there? I'll take it out. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:29, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Armenia Page

Hello, there has been recent chaos in the Armenia page, as one user dbachmann, has been constantly changing the map that had been agreed upon for months after some debate. I have the support of the main mod in charge of the page. I noticed you had changed the protection level of the Armenia page, is there any way to up the protection so he is not able to make such changes or so this edit war stops, and we can continue with what we had before?MosMusy (talk) 20:51, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Tickell

Hi NW. On behalf of the article creator, can I request that this article be undeleted and moved to User BillyMoses\Robert Tickell so that the editor has a chance to insert references to help establish notability? He stated on Eekster's talk page that he was in the process of doing so [1] when the article was deleted, and since this is a fairly new editor, I'd like to give him the benefit of the doubt.   ArcAngel   (talk) ) 23:27, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Filter 58

That filter seems to be producing a lot of false positives. Granted, a decent proportion of the FPs are vandals anyway, just not the type it's targeting. Considering it disallows the edit and the bot reports anybody who triggers it to AIV, a high rate of false positives is not great. I see you're about the only person who ever modifies it, so perhaps you could do some deadheading and leave only the most harmful stuff that really needs to be disallowed on there, perhaps exporting some of the rest to another filter?

Rey Vy

Dear NawlinWiki,

I understand there has been a massive amount of deletion with articles based upon one singer that has been created possibly 20 times? If anything though, i am a new user who plans on creating an account on Wikipedia but, recently saw that this article was deleted. The article was notable and i was wondering just in case Wikipedians thought i was a banned user, if you could start the article yourself and then everyone else would build upon it. I saw some hits on Google including radio airplay.

Sincerely,

Im Soben

P.S. We can exchange emails also but, i'm afraid of privacy issues —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.175.222.156 (talk) 18:40, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

NawlinWiki, thank you for deleting that page and seeing through his disguise. Do you know how to find out if 213.175.222.156 is a proxy? I doubt he's actually in the UK. I did a scan, but don't know how to interpret the results. —Soap— 19:04, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's a proxy, see here for example. I've blocked it for one year. And with respect to Mr. Savy, because there was a previous AFD at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sarey Savy, and because of the repeated sockpuppetry and attempts to evade filters, the only legitimate way to start this article would be to go to Wikipedia:Deletion review and state a case there as to how this person might now meet WP:MUSIC and WP:V.

Speedy deletion nomination of David lee smith

A tag has been placed on David lee smith, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

redirect due grammar

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Whiteguru (talk) 11:23, 7 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you think you can clean up the rest with your Wikipedia superpowers? Thanks OrangeMarlin Talk• Contributions 19:15, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wondering why our page was deleted

Just curious why our page for the Croydon Rangers Gridiron Club was deemed to to have given "No explanation of the subject's significance", or why we wouldn't be asked to provide one before deleting it? Longest running and most successful club in the state, one of the original founding members. Feels pretty significant to us.

Yobi.tv

The page for Yobi.tv was deleted. I believe that this may be due to an interpretation that it was being used for commercial promotion. As you can see, I am a regular contributor to Wikipedia, and (I believe) have a clean record regarding usage and non-promtional content. I have at times added content to the Yobi.tv page as well. That said, I am a regular follower of Yobi.tv and believe it merits a Wikipedia page. Would it be possible to allow me to repost the page were I to remove whatever you believe to be the segments that you believe crossed the line. If so, could you please share with me that material so that I can monitor the page in the future? Sincerely, David A. Victor

Hi NawlinWiki,

I have made a first edit of the YOBI.tv page to try to address some of the issues you flagged. Could you please take a moment to look over the revision on my userspace at User:David A. Victor/YOBI.tv? I want to make sure that this is more acceptable.

I appreciate the opportunity to revise this.

You had asked me to include rationale for why the site is notable. My argument is that YOBI.tv is built on the premise of James Surowiecki's Wisdom of Crowds. It is, to my knowledge, the first contest (web-based or otherwise) to do so. As I teach Surowiecki's premise in some of my university classes, this is of particular interest to me. That said, I have no way of knowing if this truly is the ONLY contest to do so. Consequently, I have only put in a paragraph regarding THAT the site does so.

It is my hope that this revision passes muster. I can refine it further at a later date, but this is currently the exam period at the university where I teach and my time is as a result somewhat limited for the next week or so. That said, I wanted to post something up sooner rather than later.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts. David A. Victor (talk) 02:26, 15 April 2011 (UTC) DV[reply]

Page Deleted

I would like to know why my page "Troopathon" was deleted. It is a new event and was in no way meant as an advertisement. After I saw Mark Levin's wiki page reference the event, I found it necessary to give a brief description of it... Can you please advise me on how I can create a page that is informative for this term and not advertising it. --Tbudowich (talk) 00:19, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • First, the article needs to be written in a neutral fashion (see WP:NPOV) and not as advertising or publicity for the event. Second, the event's notability must be shown by citation to reliable independent sources (ie, not the event's own webpage). See WP:V). NawlinWiki (talk) 00:20, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of convicted Jewish criminals

Hi. I went to Deletion review and it said to discuss with the deleting admin. Your reason was "Recently created article that duplicates an existing topic: Bernard Madoff". I think you should agree that this is false as I had only started assembling the list for a minute when you deleted. I think you should undelete, and then delete for an appropriate reason if there is one. Regards. Bob19842 (talk) 10:52, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There was no consensus at ANI and they reffered me to Deletion review, as did Requests for undeletion where I mistakenly went. Deletion review guidelines said to discuss with you. Your position is that you agree with one side at ANI, will leave the page deleted with spurious reasoning, and will do so because in your opinion it is "Anti-Semitic". Can you confirm that? Bob19842 (talk) 13:02, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
As has already been pointed out to Bob on the undelete request page, there's a fundamental distinction between "List of Jewish Nobel laureates" and "List of convicted Jewish criminals". Namely, that the first list is a verifiable and fixed number, whereas there are no verifiable standards for the second list, which could expand into the thousands upon thousands if you listed every Jew that's ever been convicted of anything, clear down to jaywalking. (I would say the same problem exists with the list of Aussie criminals.) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 13:42, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Is having a "fixed number" a standard normally applied to lists? It seems a bit odd to delete something on a dubious prediction of its size. Jaywalking would not be notable, even for the famous. Bob19842 (talk) 13:58, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
How do you know it wouldn't? Every time Lindsay Lohan does anything her mother wouldn't approve of, it makes headlines. However, there's an even more fundamental flaw with your proposed list, and that is that there is nothing about Madoff's crimes that has anything to do with being Jewish. To do this technically correctly, you would have to not only verify what the scope should be, but also you would have to rename it Convicted criminals who happen to be Jewish. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 14:03, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reservoir

Hello NawlinWiki,

The deletion of User:Manumura ‎due to (G11: Unambiguous advertising or promotion) is unclear for me. This is my first article and I was still in the process of making corrections, actually even the title is not ment to be User:Manumura, but nlevel. So I tried to follow the structure of other similar wiki articles (e.g. Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture). Basically, the article talks about a solution to water crisis, as well as, who did the research. I had no intention to do advertising, so I hope you can help me modify my article in an acceptable way for Wikipedia. Thank you in advance for your kind understanding and help.

Yours sincerely, Manuela Mattarese Manumura (talk) 18:30, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Summit Bank

I think A3 there was a bit hasty; I'd tried to make it 'passable' to allow expansion. I'm pretty sure it is notable; I'm not clear how it fits in with Summit Bancorp - and may need merging. But I tried to add enough refs and context to give it a chance. It was A3, as made - but surely not after the edit/s I made?  Chzz  ►  22:08, 12 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi NawlinWiki, I noticed you just blocked Vaznecek as a sock.

Hi,

You speedy deleted my first ever post.

I've been trying to figure out how to contribute to Wiki for ages. Then I find a legitimate missing link from a page on Energy bars where I can make a contribution because it's a local company and before I know it it's gone. The information was factual. I've no connection to the company. How am I meant to get to grips with Wiki if you delete posts without consideration?

Now I'm confused. One of the companies products is considered notable enough to warrant inclusion on one page but not notable enough for the loop to be completed?

I can provide some information that nobody else has yet done. It adds value to Wiki and it's impartial.

I am Terri Hansen, a news reporter. Contact me at terri@terrihansen.com if you'd like to respond to assertions by the Native American Journalists Association that you deleted their page in Jan. 2010 owing to an alleged lack of notability. The page was reposted, only to be deleted a second time by another W editor, for ambigious copyright infringement. My deadline is tomorrow, Wednesday at noon PDT. This is your opportunity to respond on the record. Thank you for your consideration.

  • This is the entire text of the article that I deleted in January 2010:

The Native American Journalists Association, based in Norman, Oklahoma on the campus of the University of Oklahoma, focuses on improving communications among Native people and between Native Americans and the general public.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.naja.com |title=Native American Journalists Association |accessdate=2008-11-19 }}</ref> The work of the association addresses Native communications and encompasses a wide range of issues affecting the survival and the development of the Native media and Native communications.

As you can see, the article does not explain how the subject asserts notability per our guidelines at WP:ORG.

Hi,
I note you added the domain hurryupharry.org to the spamblacklist last November, apparently prompted by these five (suppressed) diffs.
Is this particular person known to be still active, or was he only known to you during that spree? If this is a long-term problem, would it suffice to blacklist only this particular link?
